5:12 So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people ¹  because ²  all sinned – 5:13 for before the law was given, ³  sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin ⁴  when there is no law. 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type ⁵  of the coming one) transgressed. ⁶  5:15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. ⁷  For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, ⁸  how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! 5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. ⁹  For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, ¹⁰  led to condemnation, but ¹¹  the gracious gift from the many failures ¹²  led to justification. 5:17 For if, by the transgression of the one man, ¹³  death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

5:18 Consequently, ¹⁴  just as condemnation ¹⁵  for all people ¹⁶  came ¹⁷  through one transgression, ¹⁸  so too through the one righteous act ¹⁹  came righteousness leading to life ²⁰  for all people. 5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man ²¹  many ²²  were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man ²³  many ²⁴  will be made righteous. 5:20 Now the law came in ²⁵  so that the transgression ²⁶  may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, 5:21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
